Nice guide, thank you.

Now, how about a guide on how to tell dps to move out of Loken's lightning nova in heroic halls of lightning?

^^LOL!^^

I'm curious, who's having problems with azjol? If you have a ret pally that's descent, it should be a cake walk, and you can use hunter traps as well. Tanking trash by the entrance helps a lot. Also, all 3 groups do something different. I believe the one on the far left, closest to the entrance is the hardest to deal with. There's a mob that CC's people, and usually a skirmisher that hits pretty hard So if you down this group first, the rest seem easy in comparison.

This instance is a healer instance. If you have a horribly under geared healer, it will be very hard. Especially if you don't have a ret pally or 2. If you have no cc, you need a very well geared tank, and the healer needs to be on the ball. Make sure dps kills any cacoons that happen to be spun on the first boss. The other 2 bosses are pretty easy.

Second boss is a healer/mana fight, and making sure the tank/dps know how to get out of the poison. If you have a priest healer, make sure you have a pally, druid, or shaman that knows how to dispel poisons. Poison cleansing totem is the easiest way to make this instance easy on the healer. You can not drink between fights on this boss.

Third boss. Cake. Keep healer at max range, and as long as the tank picks up the elites, it's an easy fight. The normal adds don't hit hard, so as long as a dps kills the adds that go after the healer, you should be fine.

1) Explain how the damage works - damage aura requires you to be close to Loken, then run away when the AoE is being cast. There is no time to finish a cast when the AoE begins. Just run.

2) Tell melee dps to stack on you. Parrying is much less of a problem than not being able to reach safe distance in time. Heck, everyone should be piled on top of you that doesn't have a minimum range to their abilities.

3) Point out that Loken will be making a beeline for you after the AoE, therefore the best strategy is to stay with you.

4) Have a plan for where you will be running. Mine is to initially tank him at the circle of light at the top of the stairs. The first AoE I follow the lights on the floor to the first set of stairs, then down to the second, turn him around and then back to the first and then the circle. (Shamans should plant their totems on the upper set of stairs for maximum coverage)
